We have no need for them, we have enough room to keep the buildings low.

either places are empty so there is no need or it's crowded already so you can't throw them out to build a glass box there

Why ruin our cities like that?

I've been to Vienna. There are a lot of skyscrapers there

Yes (Benidorm)

We build skyscrapers outside the historical center of the city to avoid ruining it. See the EUR in Rome or La Défense in Paris

They think old good, new bad! This is especially true when it comes to buildings, air conditioning, and automatic transmissions. Euros just like being stuck in the past and wewuzzing.

What's wrong with the euro? It's a relatively new currency

Maybe you didn't know but there's chronology in euro notes going from antiquity in 5€ to modern era in 500€.

is this brazil?

Notice how it is in the suburbs and not in the middle of Paris though

other cities in Europe don't have populations that you can really compare with giant US cities

cities like NYC have larger populations than entire European countries

We have some but they are usually less than 500ft high.

We have some in Paris, but outside of Paris there are inexistent.

Lyon has some
Nantes has 1
Marseille has 2
Lille has 1
Toulouse is expected to have 1

I don't want to be rude, but Benidorm looks rather like Brazil than Miami.
The skyscrapers in Madrid are nice though.

>a lot of skyscrapers
Not really. There's only 3 or 4 buildings over 150m depending on how you measure them.
There's a good amount of 80m+ tall buildings, but those are not skyscrapers by the usual definition (150m+).

Most American cities with enough skyscrapers to form a skyline are rather small in population (muh suburbs is horseshit in terms of population density), they're just compensation for small penis size, like in the rest of the 3rd World.

Plis no bulli

Every time you try to build something here, some nimby-boomers will start spamming complaints to stall the construction out of spite.

Notice how we built 0 in our capital as well.

Half of France is always cloudy.

It's called using setbacks.

It also has the benefit of often creating public spaces the buildings owner has to maintain

And that's the most expensive city to live in here

European skyscraper

I was in Paris last year and went to visit there during a french holiday, and Christ the streets between those skyscrapers were so deserted, i could've screamed from the top of my lungs and probably nobody would've heard me. Pretty cool imagery though.

what's that in the back then?

Europeans don’t want ugly glass boxes in their historic cities

Sky scrapers are cool and make you feel like you live in a real city

If that's what a real city feels like then I really don't want sky scrapers.

Building structures higher than our local church? I don't think so.

lowers cost of housing
East Asians won't lose respect

Why is there a brick chimney by itself in the middle of the water

We do, we just don't put them in the middle of the city, because in Europe center of the city tend to have historical value.

Part of an art installation. There's chimneys just like it in South Korea, Finland and Germany and a few others here in Sweden.

Sky scrapers don't fit in with our other buildings.

Because those buildings get outdated fast.
Give it 50 years and people will be oushing for them to be destroyed again while european old architecture is timeless

based on what?

there's actually a height limit in Rotterdam to prevent tall structures

Interesting. Benidorm went from a humble fishermen village to a massive tourist attraction full of skyscrapers. More than 50 years after the change, it's still a very successful and sustainable place.

Wow rude, I never implied they were. You wouldn't see something like that in an american city, where skyscrapers are part of the urban center rather than their own little separate district.

And all of the pic is located in the old centre, so it's hard to build there because of century old remains of the old city in the soil and the proximity of the Laurenskerk.
